&ne £l)iboimur Sentinel
SATURDAY, OCT. 13, 1888.
Silrer and Gold.
Farewell my little sweetheart,
Now fare you well and free ;
1 claim from you uo promise,
You claim no vows from me,
The reason why ?—the reason
Right well we can uphold—
1 liave too much of silver,
And you too much of gold!
A puzzle, this, to worldlings,
Whose love to lucre flies,
Who think that gold to silver
Should count as mutual prize!
Hut I'm not avaricious,
And you're not sordid-souled,
I have too much of silver,
And you've too much of gold.
Upon our heads the reason
Too plainly can he seen ;
I am the Winter's bond slave,
Yon are the Summer's queen ;
Too few the years you number,
Too many 1 have told;
I have too much of silver,
And you've too much of gold.
You have the rose for token,
I have dry leaf and thyme;
I have the sobbing vesper,
You, morning bells at chime,
I would that I were younger,
(And you grew never old)—
Would that I had of silver,
But you no less of gold!
—Edith Thompson in Scribners' Sept.
Weekly Weather-Crop Bulletin
OF THE LOUISIANA WEATHER SERVICE.
New f Orleans, October 6,188?.
The weather conditions during the
past week have been favorable to the
growing cane and for cotton picking.
Reports indicate that cane grinding
has begun in some sections of the su
gar region with fair results. Some fall
planting has been done but not in gen
eral, the land being hard and dry from
the heavy mins earlier in the season.
Complaints of lack of rainfall are
heard from vegetable fanners, but the
ensuing 48 hours will doubtless relieve
their needs in that respect, a sudden
fall of from 15 to 20 degrees in the
temperature being indicated for Louis
iana, which will likely result in light
rains.
But nine of the total number of ob
servers reports show appreciable rain
fall for the week, the amounts being
as follows : Monroe .22, Natchitoches
.02, Trinity .80, Vidalia .22, Alexan
dria .48, Marksville .25, Amite .08,
Grand Coteau .03 and Abbeville .01.
The temperature has been below a
seasonal average throughout the State,
the deficiencies ranging from 3 to 7
degrees, but being accompanied by an
excess of sunshine, was very favora
ble in its effects.
EXTRACTS FROM OBSERVERS' REPORTS.
Lake Providence—Cotton picking is
being pushed with energy.

The First Sign
Of failing health, whether in the form of
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in a
sense of General Weariness and Loss of
Appetite, should suggest the use of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla. This preparation is most
effective for giving tone ami strength
to the enfeebled system, promoting the
digestion and assimilation of food, restor
ing the nervoua forces to their normal
condition, and for purifying, enriching,
and vitalizing the blood.
Failing Health.
Ten vears ago my health began to fail.
J was troubled with a distressing Cough,
Night Sweats, Weakness, aud Nervous
ness. I tried various remedies prescribed
by different physicians, but became so
weak that I could not go up stairs with
out stopping to rest. My friends recom
mended me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla,
which I did, and 1 am now os healthy and
strong ns ever. — Mrs. E. L. Williams,
Alexandria, Miun.
I have used Ayer's Sarsaparilla. In my
family, for Scrofula, and know, if it is
taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly
eradicate this terrible disease. I have also
prescribed it ns a tonic, as well as an alter
ative, and must say that I honestly believe
it to be the best blood medicine ever
compounded. —W. F. Fowler, D. D. S.,
M. D., Greenville, Tenn.
Dyspepsia Cured.
It would be Impossible for me to de
scribe what I suffered from Indigestion
and Headache up to the time I began
taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I was under
the care of various physicians and tried
a great many kinds of medicines, hut
never obtained more than temporary re
lief. After taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla for
• short time, my headache disappeared,
and my stomach performed its duties more
perfectly. To-day my health is com
S letelv restored. — Mary Harley, Spring
eld, Mass.
I have been greatly benefited by the
prompt use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It
tones and invigorates the system. regulates
the action of the digestive and assimilative
organs, and vitalizes the blood. It is,
without doubt, the most reliable blood
purifier yet discovered. — H. D. Johnson,
383 Atlantic ave., Brooklyn, N. Y.
